Q) How do you tell which Electric Motor is equal to what Glow Engine?A) One of the biggest confusions for most people selecting an electric motor is, “What is a watt?” The glow guys are used to horsepower and electric power systems are measured in watts.

(1 hp = 746 watts or about 750 watts)

Don't go by the max rating for HP that engine manufacturers publish. That is a MAX figure and very seldom is an engine for sport use operated at that figure. The h.p. drops off quite a bit when the RPM is not at the rated figure which is usually around 16,000 RPM’s or greater.
